> Or the meatbag hanging off the cross, exactly what Jesus wants to see I think this is a form of idolatry as well. First commandment- Thou shalt not have other gods before Me. By placing his Son as the "centerpiece" in a massive, gilded church, you are placing the Son before the father. **You are supposed to worship GOD, not Jesus.** But the way I see most "traditional" Christians, they seem to worship Jesus over all else. Jesus is to be revered, his teachings studied and followed- but ultimately it is He whom we kneel before, and no one else.
